MENS AND LADIES PILATES CLASSES STARTING MONDAY 3RD APRIL

What a fantastic day for Sutton LTC yesterday, with the much anticipated visit of Judy Murray …. and boy, she didn’t disappoint! There was something to learn by kids and adults of all ages …. and all abilities …. in two fun and information packed clinics – lots of skills training, tips and anecdotes about her famous boys, Andy and Jamie – she even agreed that Andy can be a ‘grouchy bugger’ sometimes while on court. She’d lots of stories about her time coaching kids in Scotland and also about her time on “Strictly Come Dancing”. Following the clinics and after endless photos and autograph signing, Judy officially opened the new and improved airhall. She was clearly impressed by the size of the club and by its recent additions of new airhall, new squash courts and gym and also at the amazing community spirit within the club, which she referred to in her speech. She joined members for tea and lots of tennis-themed cakes in the lounge after the presentation, where her relaxed humour and warmth were there for all to see! Judy also got to meet Richard Fahy CEO of Tennis Ireland and local lad – as well as do an exclusive interview with Johnny Watterson of The Irish Times! What a great day – thanks to Judy for making the visit
